“Marching to Freedomland – Giants of the Civil Rights Movement” takes a searing and heartfelt look at the quest for African-American freedom during the civil rights era of the 1950’s and ‘60’s. Written and directed by Executive Artistic Director Bruce Robinson, winner of the 1998 Barrymore Award for Theatre Excellence in Community Service, this piece spotlights the big and “little” giants that confronted an unwilling nation forcing it to change. It also places a particular emphasis on the important role that young people played in that special time of struggle, sorrow and ultimate victory. In “Marching to Freedomland – Giants of the Civil Rights Movement” we meet both the movement’s celebrated heroes, as well as the unsung, rarely celebrated, ordinary heroes whose sacrifices, pain and forbearance helped to make the “dream” possible.
